Carbon, a building block of life, is constantly moving through different environmental compartments such as biota, the atmosphere, the ocean, soil and sediment, as part of what is called ‘the global ...

Case Western Reserve, collaborators study carbonate melts dispersed in the Earth’s mantle; findings could illuminate long-term carbon exchanges New geologic findings about the makeup of the Earth’s ...

Earthquakes can pull massive amounts of carbon into the deepest parts of Earth's deep-sea trenches, scientists have discovered. After analyzing the offshore magnitude 9 earthquake that devastated ...

This study reports widespread mineral carbonation of mantle rocks in an oceanic transform fueled by magmatic degassing of CO2. The findings describe a previously unknown part of the geological carbon ...

Certain gases in the atmosphere trap heat. These gases are called greenhouse gases because they effectively form a blanket over Earth that prevents heat from escaping to space. Greenhouse gases occur ...

Mesopelagic fish, long overlooked in ocean chemistry, are now proven to excrete carbonate minerals much like their shallow-water counterparts—despite living in dark, high-pressure depths. Using the ...
